When to visit

The best time to visit Kenmare is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is mild and the days are long. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. Spring and fall are also good times to visit as the weather is still pleasant, and there are fewer tourists. Winter can be cold and rainy, but it is a great time to experience the town's cozy atmosphere and enjoy indoor activities.

Be prepared for some rain, even in the summer months. Take a scenic drive along the Ring of Kerry for breathtaking views of the coastline and mountains.
